Mike Birbiglia is probably one of the funniest comedians I enjoy listening to. Mike keeps a Secret Public Journal online that anyone can read and the journal entries are hilarious. Mike is doing a stand up tour across the country and he has a few CD’s for sale too. You can check him out on MySpace as well as on his videos from YouTube. Mike has a great skit about being afraid of bears. He recently came very close to a grizzly in Alaska, I guess that he may finally get over that fear of bears. Here are a couple of Mike’s CD’s that you can get from Amazon.com.

I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...
